    Summary

    Baz's life has not been going well. He knows Simon has never forgiven him for everything that happened with the Mage at the beginning of 8th year, and he's spent the ten years since Simon left Watford trying to forget about him. Now, weighed down by three degrees he can’t use and a family business he doesn’t want to join, Baz's prospects seem pretty bleak—that is, until a position opens up in the Coven. To his surprise, Baz gets the job, which means he'll be working directly with Simon. For Baz, the job means has a chance to prove that he’s not useless—and, better yet, try prove he wasn’t trying to ruin Simon’s life all those years ago. Unfortunately, that’s not at all how Simon sees it…

    Summary

    Of all the things I expect my father to tell me when we convene in his study, it very much isn’t, “The Old Families want you to befriend the Chosen One.”

     

    A COMPLETED fic of Simon and Baz’s eight years together at Watford with one fundamental change to their relationship: what if eleven-year-old Baz had been instructed to be Simon’s friend instead of his enemy? (Answer: much the same initial antagonistic relationship that becomes a slow-burning and character-defining romance.)

    Includes lots of magickal worldbuilding that fill in the gaps of their missing years at Watford, their coming-of-age stories, and their eventual love story.

    Covers Simon Snow and the Mage’s Heir (year 1) through Carry On (year 8).

    Summary

    There was something in my throat.  Something crawling its way up my windpipe that quivered with every laboured breath.  I needed to shake it free.  I needed it gone.  Eventually, my lungs aching and head spinning, I felt it dislodge.  A single, blue petal fluttered from my mouth to the floor.  And it wasn’t the only one.

    It didn’t take me long to find the answer. I wish I could say I was surprised.

    I knew I’d never survive Simon Snow.

    A story about, above all else, believing in the love you’re shown.

    Summary

    Mayor Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch is the youngest mayor ever elected in Watford (and the first openly gay mayor in the county to boot). Elected immediately after graduating top of his class at university, Baz feels the immense pressure to succeed in his position - one his mother ran for but never had the chance to fill.

    If only his opponent during his reelection, city administrator David Mage, would stop insisting that what Baz knows is good for Watford is merely a plot to make him and his family more money. And with Mage's infuriatingly handsome but blustering protege, Simon Snow, lurking around City Hall trying to prove that Baz is plotting, this election season is giving Baz a headache bigger than the one his aunt and campaign manager Fiona gives him at 7 AM every morning.

    But when Simon overhears something he probably shouldn't have, he reaches out to Baz to form a truce and find out the truth, to keep the election fair and free, and give Baz the courage he needs to carry on through election season.

    Summary

    Canon divergence taking place in their eight-year at Watford. After returning to school, Simon confronts Baz about what happened the previous year, with him and Agatha in the Wavering Woods. After Baz finally admits to him that he has no interest in Agatha since he is gay and now has a boyfriend, their relationship shifts from enemies to friends.
    But what happens when Simon starts suspecting that Don, Baz’s boyfriend, might be doing Baz more harm than he is doing good?

    We also find out what happened to Baz during the summer and how it all - including Don - is connected to Natasha Pitch's murder.
     

     

    ‘When I looked back, Baz was already on the premises and was walking towards Mummer’s House. And something in the way he was moving made me realize Baz didn’t seem happy.
    That was the first time I noticed something seemed off.
    It was not the last.’
